I cried today... my "friends" are so JEALOUS!

brittanyjterrell · April 2011

First of all, a little background on us..
we met in highschool, never were together as a couple until 6 years later then people started to question : 'WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?" as if we were complete strangers from two different planets or something! That started the hate...

2 Years later..
We have lost friends and even FAMILY because no one wants to see us happy. A lot of people are happy for us but it seems to be the same 4-5 people who try to tear every part of our relationship down.

An EX friend who I cut off because of her bitterness and trying to break us down, called me today to tell me what her and "the OTHERS" THINK of me and my FI. I HAD to hear this!!!

1) I'm insecure.. if I could take him from every woman in the world.. I would. Mother and blood sister included (so not true, I love them both and encourage him daily to have a relationship with them)

2) I DONT Deserve my FI (Wow.. I was floored)

3) People think I flaunt my relationship to make others jealous and I love attention (So not TRUE! I am finally happy in my life and people who have a problem because I FB post pics and make statuses in dedication to my love, and he does the same, if you have a problem with that then YOU are hurting inside. something is WRONG with your LIFE! Never would I flaunt my relationship, that is so tacky! I;m just happy! Is that so wrong?)

I cried so hard... I try my best to be the best friend I can be to people and they gang up behind my back and constantly discuss MY life that they have NOTHING to do with! Ugh!

How old are you? Why are you listening to what others say? Your message is coming across as someone who already has made up their mind...

Why did the "hate" start? There had to be something that happened. People, esp. family doesn't just start hating on someone for no reason.

If this is an ex-friend that you don't care about anymore, then don't talk to her. I don't know why you'd subject yourself to anything she says.

As far as the FB stuff, just how many/what type of photos and statuses do you post to show dedication to your love? I hate when people post pics of them and SO's making out all the time or every other status is "FI is so hot. FI is so great," etc. To me, that IS flaunting a relationship and often times comes across as trying to convince yourself they are greater than they actually are. If those are the kinds of pics/statuses you post, then I would be annoyed too. And my life is perfectly fine, actually.

Blueyed228 · April 2011

Why are you friends with people who talk to you like that?

brittanyjterrell · April 2011

Because that was completely random and uncalled for for that specific person (who is now the ringleader of all of this mess!) to say that... she repeatedly asked people "where did THEY come from with that? When did that start? That's so random " and all this other stuff about us... from the BEGINNING!

I only post pics when we go out to events or something and I dedicate statuses to him every now and then, nothing too excessive. Maybe on anniversarys or his bday or a special day... I don't FLAUNT my relationship but to a bitter person who does not HAVE anyone,... jealousy will make you see things how you want to see them.

My "HATE GROUP" are the only people who think I flaunt my relationship

Seriously, I think you need to back away from the keyboard, because this post and the one on E are just making you look childish and immature. And regardless of what you say happened, these posts are making it look like you're not the innocent one. Pour yourself a drink and vent that way, instead of posting about how jealous everyone is of you.

How are they making me look like I'm not innocent? I was genuinely hurt about what someone said about me and I was coming here to maybe get some advice and not be slandered by the SUPER rude "brides" on this board but I knew that would be too much to ask.

Just out of curiosity, why do you think we care?

Especially since we are "SUPER rude brides". Are we jealous too?

jferlenda · April 2011

There has to be something else going on here. People don't just disapprove of a relationship for no reason. They can't just start "hating" you two because they didn't know how you got together. Is there something you may have left out of the story?

They didn't start to disapprove of the relationship until recently and it's only a couple people out of all the people that we know but they hurt me really bad by sending their leader to tell me what they think of me and my relationship.

No more to the story but when people are MISERABLE they want u to be miserable as well. Misery loves company is definitely a true statement. They are not "good friends", one was actually one of my best friends for a little while and after we ended our friendship, she befriended people who didn't like me just to get back at me :( . She had absolutely nothing to do with these people while me and her were cool, I found that quite strange.

Where in that post do I make it seem like I'm "better than them" because I'm getting married? They are all GAY, anyway! They don't plan on getting married any time soon and I don't think they really care about that but it's funny how people were happier and okay being my friend when I was single or in a rough relationship but as soon as I'm happy... everyone has something negative to say.

Your original post doesn't make it sound that way at all. You said they started hating AND NOW TWO YEARS LATER. So it sounds like they started "hating" two years ago, which I don't call recent. Now you're saying it's only a couple, but in the OP, you made it sound like the world was against you. Plus, I thought you thought we were all "super rude" and weren't going to post anymore?

Your homosexual friends are jealous of your heterosexual relationship?

AllAboutTheBenjamin · April 2011

This one time, my FI's family and my family didn't get along - like, AT ALL, so I drank some poison and faked my own death so I could sneak away and be with him in secret. Turns out FI thought I was really dead so he drank a ton more poison than I did and then he actually died. I was so upset when I found him dead that I stabbed myself and bled to death.

Oh wait, that didn't actually happen, some prick named Billy Shakespeare made it up.

Listen, just ignore people who "hate" on you, don't give people the time of day who want you to be unhappy or want your relationship to fail, and for the love of God, don't come in here and be Captain Whiny Pants about your life. If you're happy, be happy. Sometimes people just suck, and that's the way of life. You gotta live your life and get yours and if people are going to hate you for being happy, well, they obviously don't love or care about you at all. Let-it-go.

Really? What does their sexual orientation have to do with anything? You must be living under a rock if you think homosexual people don't care about getting married. And if you're using "gay" as an insult, yeah way to show how mature you are. That's pretty offensive and rude.

whitneyc1 · April 2011

Well sweetie if they were your friends they wouldnt be jealous and if they are maybe its time to let them go. Its no point in wasteing time on people that arent happy for you. Sometimes you have to ignore people amd kill them with kindness. I do understand the other brides point of view. Saying someone is jealous of you is a bit much. Maybe you have been flaunting your relationship around and thats fine as long as your not coming off like your better than others because your getting married. l say enjoy your engagement and dont worry about other people and their negative spirits because you dont need them around.

marinabreeze · April 2011

This reminds me too much of the girls I went to high school with (I went to a small single-sex school) who defined their worth and that of others by whether or not they were with someone. Everyone was "hatin'" on them, too. They were also teenagers and not well into their 20s.

I graduated from high school twelve years ago. I'm too old for this shiit.

SarahPLiz · April 2011

In my experience, people who feel the need to express their love ad nauseum on FB are trying to flaunt it to other people, and to cover for something that is actually missing in the relationship. In fact, if all that goes on in your life that is worthy of posting about is how much you love this other person, then you need a hobby. Focusing that much on another person for your happiness is really unhealthy.

Just like those short guys that have big trucks or fast cars, its compensating. I am totally in love with my H, but people know that because, well, he's my H. I don't feel the need to validate that publically because its no one's business but ours. FWIW, I also block and defriend people that don't have anything more interesting to say than "OMG!! I am soooo in lloooveeee with XXXX", Its nauseating.

That started the hate... 2 Years later.. We have lost friends and even FAMILY because no one wants to see us happy. A lot of people are happy for us but it seems to be the same 4-5 people who try to tear every part of our relationship down. An EX friend who I cut off because of her bitterness and trying to break us down, called me today to tell me what her and "the OTHERS" THINK of me and my FI. I HAD to hear this!!! 1) I'm insecure.. if I could take him from every woman in the world.. I would. Mother and blood sister included (so not true, I love them both and encourage him daily to have a relationship with them) 2) I DONT Deserve my FI (Wow.. I was floored) 3) People think I flaunt my relationship to make others jealous and I love attention (So not TRUE! I am finally happy in my life and people who have a problem because I FB post pics and make statuses in dedication to my love, and he does the same, if you have a problem with that then YOU are hurting inside. something is WRONG with your LIFE! Never would I flaunt my relationship, that is so tacky! I;m just happy! Is that so wrong?) I cried so hard... I try my best to be the best friend I can be to people and they gang up behind my back and<strong> constantly discuss MY life that they have NOTHING to do with! Ugh!</strong>

</div><div>When you post on FB, you are INVITING other people into your relationship. Its just as effective to express your love to your FI by calling him, and talking to him. When you post on FB you are telling everyone else. They are now part of your relationship. Successful relationships stay out of the public eye. Food for thought.

I definately agree that you sound immature, as do your "friends".

If you are happy, then be happy. Don't worry about what others say. If in the beginning they said you two were random, maybe it was just because you never used to talk or hang out and you seemed like different people. Doesn't mean it can't work between you two, but it is an explanation.

What does your family have to say about your relationship? Your real friends who you still care about? That is important to look at, because I do agree with the PPs that usually people don't randomly believe that a relationship is wrong or bad. If those who you do care about see red flags, listen to them and address their concerns.

I get that so called 'friends' can get a bit jealous when it comes to the spot light being on one of their 'friends'. HOWEVER at the same time, if they were really your 'friends' they would be 100% in support of you and your relationship. So, other than your relationship, what made this "leader" dis-like you/ make your relationship with that person fall apart? If you already explained that I apologize, but I think I missed that.

PP's are right. You need to keep these ppl out of sight and out of mind. If they aren't your friends, why are you letting what they say get to you? (I know easier said than done) What family has walked away or been hurt? As far as FB postings...they can be obnoxious if done to excess. However, if what you are saying is true, that you only do it every so often, then I don't know where the problem lies.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: I cried today... my "friends" are so JEALOUS! : No more to the story but when people are MISERABLE they want u to be miserable as well. Misery loves company is definitely a true statement. They are not "good friends", one was actually one of my best friends for a little while and after we ended our friendship, she befriended people who didn't like me just to get back at me :( . She had absolutely nothing to do with these people while me and her were cool, I found that quite strange. Where in that post do I make it seem like I'm "better than them" because I'm getting married? <strong>They are all GAY, anyway!</strong> <strong>They don't plan on getting married any time soon and I don't think they really care about that but it's funny how people were happier and okay being my friend when I was single or in a rough relationship but as soon as I'm happy... everyone has something negative to say.</strong>

<div>Are you kidding me?? You need to back away from the keyboard before you offend everyone. Grow up, act like an adult and think before you type...it would serve you better in life.</div><div>
</div><div>When you flaunt your relationship - they are probaby not jealous - just annoyed with you!</div>
